ON EXHIBIT

Celebrating 75 Years—Pathways of American Art at the Morse Museum

The Morse Museum opened its doors 75 years ago on February 17, 1942, to provide the community with an opportunity to make art a part of their daily lives. The Morse was founded by Jeannette McKean (1909–89), granddaughter of Chicago industrialist and Winter Park philanthropist Charles Hosmer Morse, and led for nearly a half century by Hugh McKean (1908–95), an artist, art professor, and for 18 years president of Rollins College. Our 75th anniversary is an occasion to reaffirm the McKeans’ vision for the Museum’s role in the community and to celebrate the values that have steered the institution since its inception and which make it a distinctive benefaction.

Revival & Reform—Eclecticism in the 19th-Century Environment

Revival & Reform provides a rare look at the diversity of the decorative arts in the latter nineteenth and very early twentieth centuries rather than one focused on a discrete art and design movement of the period such as Art Nouveau or Arts and Crafts.
